Five Complete Hercule Poirot Novels
Author: Agatha Christie

Five Complete Hercule Poirot Novels: Thirteen at Dinner / Murder on the Orient Express / The ABC Murders / Cards on the Table / Death on the Nile — Vintage Christie! Vintage Poirot! In one volume you have five Hercule Poirot mystery novels chosen to show Agatha Christie as the absolute master of her art, whose skills gave wing to some of the most... more » devilishly subtle and daring plots ever devised for the bafflement of mystery fans.

In these novels the vain but gentle M. Poirot's understanding of the triple passions of love, greed and revenge always takes him beyond what appears to be. To discern the impulse that turns otherwise attractive men and women into killers who lace a loved one's cocktail with arsenic or put a bullet through his head at close range. To recognize the difference between those who love and those who merely want to possess.

For in these five novels--behind the facades of wealth, culture, and breeding that Agatha Christie knew and described so accurately--the passions are discovered and laid bare.

Death on the Nile

A honeymoon trip up the Nile provides the setting--and possibly the motive--for not one but a series of murders as a curiously assorted group of English and American vacationers are revealed to have more in common than meets the eye.

Murder on the Orient Express

One of the greatest Christie-Poirot novels, in which the westbound Orient Express is crippled by snow, a man is murdered in the compartment adjoining Poirot's, the scarlet kimono worn by the unknown killer turns up in Poirot's own luggage, and all the possible suspects have impeccable alibis!

The ABC Murders

Not quite as easy as ABC to solve! Poirot and his friend Hastings have their first encounter with an apparent homicidal maniac and it looks as if the killer may run through the whole alphabet before Poirot's sensitive antennae pick up the connection between these seemingly unrelated tragedies.

Cards on the Table

Agatha Christie's impossible murder: Four people sit down for an evening of bridge and one of them, when dummy, stabs their host, who is dozing before the first in the same room. Only Poirot can distinguish between lie and truth to apprehend the bold gambler whose risk very nearly pays off.

Thirteen at Dinner

Supper at the Savoy . . . an apropos beginning for a case of troubled loves and tangled lives in London's smart set. Lady Edgware, formerly Jane Wilkinson, a beautiful American actress, wants to get rid of her husband, Lord Edgware, and says as much to Poirot. Within twenty-four hours, Lord Edgware dies.
